Arthur Schnitzler supposedly did not give interviews, avoided answering surveys, and refrained from making public statements. However, over 180 largely forgotten and previously unresearched texts disprove this claim and offer a new image of his public persona. The interviews, opinions, and letters to the editor demonstrate Schnitzler's significance as a correspondent and interview partner for his contemporaries. 

Martin Anton Müller's edition of Schnitzler's “Interviews, Opinions, and Protests” presents a “public biography” that documents what was already known about Schnitzler as a private person during his lifetime. Testimonies from his estate accompany each text, providing insight into Schnitzler's own views on them. The commentary clarifies facts, establishes connections, and distinguishes between false and accurate information. A concluding essay provides an overview, and a comprehensive index facilitates access to the material. 

Overall, this edition reveals a surprising picture of the famous author Arthur Schnitzler, who, contrary to his supposed reticence, was an engaged and eloquent public figure and writer.
